Horizon Gray vs October Mist
Both are Benjamin Moore colors. Horizon Gray reads as greige-grey, while October Mist reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 51 vs 47, Horizon Gray will read as the brighter of the two — a 4-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. They share a yellow quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. At ΔE 3.8, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Horizon Gray vs October Mist in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Horizon Gray and October Mist are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Bedroom
Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. The brightness difference is modest but present — Horizon Gray gives the walls a little more lift.
Dining Room
Dining room light is typically the warmest in the house, which shifts both colors toward the red end of the spectrum compared to daylight. Horizon Gray reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

Horizon Gray vs October Mist Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Horizon Gray on one side and October Mist on the other.
Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
